It is March, 1834 and Andrew Jackson, the seventh
president of the United States, is in danger of being impeached by the
House of Representatives for assuming powers not conferred to the
chief executive by the Constitution. If convicted by the Senate,
Jackson will be forced to resign and his vice president, Martin Van
Buren, will assume the presidency.

The House
will debate the following THREE ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT:

1. President Jackson has violated the separation
of powers in his actions
to destroy the Bank of
the United States.

2. President Jackson violated states' rights in
his
dealings with South
Carolina in the nullification
crisis.

3. President Jackson violated laws, treaties, and
Supreme Court orders in
his dealings with
Native Americans.
